FOREWORD 


UGSXIZSHE Euclid Avenue, or Third, Church 
n nWif W as organized in January, Eighteen 
Hundred and Fifty-three, by thirteen 
charter members from the Old Stone, 
on First, Church. They built their 
house of worship on Euclid Avenue, at Fourteenth 
Street, and worshipped there until the end of April, 
Nineteen Hundred and Seven. 




Beckwith Memorial Church was organized in 
June, Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-five, with 
twenty-three members. Their house of worship was 
completed in May, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety- 
two. 


The union of the two congregations was effected 
in September, Nineteen Hundred and Six, a perma- 
nent organization in January, Nineteen Hundred 
and Seven, and the united congregations began to 
worship together in Beckwith »Church on the first 
Sunday in May of the same year, under the name of 
the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church. 

Ground was broken for the erection of the new 
church in June, Nineteen Hundred and Nine, and 
the corner stone was laid in the following September. 
The completed edifice was dedicated on April 
Second, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven. 









VESTIBULE LOOKING EAST 






The EUCLID AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN 
CHURCH 


HIS church is an attempt on the part 
of the architects to develop a type of 
architectural expression that, while 
recognizing the fundamental and 
unchanging principles in all Christian archi- 
tecture, should, nevertheless, show forth in 
every particular the special nature of the religious 
society that brings it into being. From the first the 
architects have been impressed with the fact that it 
was necessary for them to create a fabric which 
should be, both in its practical and its aesthetic 
aspects, a Presbyterian church. The disposition of 
parts, the proportions and the symbolism that would 
be appropriate to a Roman Catholic or Episcopal 
church would of necessity fail to adapt themselves 
exactly to the impulses and the requirements of a 
Presbyterian church. Only too often the tendency 
has been either to foist the architectural type that is 
appropriate for one on the other, or to forget the 
common basis of all religious architecture and build 
a structure, which, however convenient it might 
prove, was, nevertheless, totally deficient in relig- 
ious character. On the one hand we have the 



mediaeval church twisted to unfamiliar and un- 
adaptable uses: On the other we have the secular 
auditorium destitute both of historical religious 
quality and of architectural beauty. 

The Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church is an 
attempt to adapt the great style of Christian archi- 
tecture developed during the Middle Ages to the 
new conditions of Evangelical Christianity, and while 
sacrificing nothing of convenience, every attempt 
has been made to express the nature of the Presby- 
terian Church in beautiful and historical forms. The 
auditorium is broad, and so far as its floor area is 
concerned, unbroken by columns. The whole area 
is covered by a widespreading, open timber roof of 
hammer-beam construction similar to that still exist- 
ing in Westminster Hall, London. An ample 
vestibule is provided at the entrance and the severity 
of an otherwise rectangular interior is broken by 
pseudo transepts, in which are deep galleries. 

The pulpit, platform and all that portion of the 
fabric which takes the place of the chancel in a 
mediaeval church is treated as a carefully considered 
architectural composition. 

Above is a great rose window and below, the richly 
cased organ, with the pulpit, clergy stalls and 


communion table combined in an architectural 
whole. Over the entrance is a second great rose win- 
dow, while the main lighting of the auditorium is 
from lofty traceried windows on either side. The 
two roses have already been filled with very beautiful 
stained glass based on XIII century models. In 
time it is hoped that all the other windows will be 
filled with glass of a similar character. The color 
effect of the interior is rich and warm. Philippine 
mahogany has been extensively used — and for the 
first time — for the finish, and its rich hues strike a 
note unusual in modern ecclesiastical architecture. 
Color and gold also have been employed sparingly 
in the decoration. These might perhaps be extend- 
ed to cover greater portions of the interior. The 
cabinet work of the great west screen, the organ 
case and the pulpit fittings, is of the most elaborate 
nature, intricately carved and forming a remarkable 
example of craftsmanship. 

The parish house is of great dimensions and re- 
markably complete in its parts and in its appointments. 
The same care has been exercised in the design of 
the Sunday school rooms and other apartments that 
was given to the church, and these, instead of being 
bare and strictly utilitarian, are commensurate in 
dignity with the church proper. 


The architectural style used as a basis for the work 
is that early and simple Gothic of England and Scot- 
land, untouched by the over-richness of the later 
Gothic period. The effect is dependent not on elab- 
oration of parts or richness of ornamentation, but on 
carefully studied proportions and intimate relation- 
ship of all the parts. The style is severe, massive and 
restrained, and throughout solidity of effect has been 
aimed at, as well as solidity of construction. 

The workmanship in every case is of the most solid 
and enduring nature, and the architects cannot re- 
frain from expressing their appreciation of the 
manner in which the general contractors and all 
those who have been engaged upon the work have 
discharged their duties. In nearly every particular 
the work of the builders has been conscientious to 
the last degree, while they have brought to the work 
an enthusiasm and interest that have resulted in 
a masterpiece of honest and workmanlike con- 
struction.

CASE OF THE GREAT ORGAN 



THE ORGAN 



HE organ installed in the auditorium 
of the church for use in the general 
services of worship, is the product of 
| the H. P. Moller Company of Hagers- 
town, Maryland, one of the largest and most pro- 
gressive organ-building firms in the country. It is 
constructed in the five divisions customary in large 
modern instruments — Great, Swell, Choir, Solo and 
Pedal. At the time this is written only the “Great” 
division is speaking, but the nobility and adequacy 
of this section justify the expectation that the com- 
pleted organ will be a notable addition to the signifi- 
cant instruments of the city and an inspiration both 
in accompaniment and solo. 

The organ case, given in memory of a faithful 
member of the church, who for many years was 
identified with its musical life, is one of the most 
elaborate pieces of organ decoration yet made in this 
country. The design is of unusual beauty and rich- 
ness and the intricate carving exhibits a remarkably 
high standard of craftsmanship. 









PULPIT AND COMMUNION TABLE 






MEMORIALS 


]HE faithful service of many of the found- 
ers and early workers of the church 
is fittingly commemorated by personal 
memorials which, with singular appro- 
priateness, take form as part of the actual struc- 
ture and decoration of the church building. 


fra "h 

til 


A large number cluster around the transepts, where 
the columns, half columns and pilasters, and the 
beautiful figure windows bear testimony to lives that 
were intimately associated with the church’s history. 


The furniture of the chancel — the pulpit, the mas- 
sive communion table, the baptismal font, all in richly 
carved designs— is of a memorial character, as is also 
the beautiful organ front, described elsewhere. 


The magnificent rose window at the south end of 
the church recalls the earnest service of a former 
member, and the wonderful north rose window is 
the gift of one who still is active in the work of the 
church, as she has been for many years. 

The Worthington memorial window taken from 
the old Euclid Avenue Church, and the Beckwith 
memorial window from the Beckwith Church, prop- 
erly have a place, and with these there came from 





the old Euclid Avenue Church the bronze tablet in 
memory of Joseph Perkins. 

The rich, warm interior finish in Philippine 
mahogany of the Pastor’s Study and of the Ladies’ 
Tea Room in Beckwith Hall, is in each case a 
memorial. 

The beauty and quality of these memorials will 
remain witnesses for many generations to come, of 
the work of those in whose memory they are given.
